Playstation 4-Leaked Specs

[ritchepaul]

Sony privately revealed today to Insomniac games, the company that created Resistance: Fall of Man, the specs for the next generation console due out in 2009. Sony wanted Insomniac to create a follow-up to the popular PS3 title, and so sent an extremely beta developers kit to Insomniac so production for the game can begin immediately. The message was intercepted by one of our sources inside Insomniac. So, without further ado, here are the specs:

CPU Sony wanted a CPU for the PS4 that's powerful enough to emulate the Cell, yet still cheap enough that they won't have to spend $800 on every console made. They consulted IBM to see what kind of processors would be available in 2 years, and they ended up with what IBM calls a Fusion processor. The processor is a multi-core processor and, like the Cell, has a bunch of different SPE cores for extra processing. It has 4(7ghz) processor cores and 16 SPEs(1500mhz). The SPEs are designed to be more like GPUs, so they have all the floating point capabilities of a video card. The Fusion processor is able to take a single thread and divide it up evenly between all the different cores, effectively making the processor a 28ghz FLOPing machine, capable of eating PS3 games for breakfast. Sony estimates the total floating point capability of the Fusion processor to be in the multi-Peta flops range.

GPU The GPU in the PS4 is from ATI this time, as Sony decided to take the same route as Microsoft with its graphics processing unit. The ATI gpu will be a modified version of the desktop DirectX 11 chip, the r800. The r800 will have a total of 8 processors in a single GPU, and each processor will have a total of 384 shader ALUs, and each chip will be roughly twice as powerful as ATIs current HD2900xt. A lot of the details on the GPU are still fuzzy, since visual effects are close to the last thing developers work on in a game, and since GPU details change from day to day even inside ATIs offices. But from what we know about DirectX 11, we can tell you that all games will look far more realistic when compared to DirectX 10 games, like Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3. The games will also have a minimum of 4x AA and support UHDTV(7680 x 4320 resolution at 4000 frames per second) using the latest UDI port in the back of the console.

Currently, the beta developer kit consists of 8 quad core PowerPC 6 processors at 6ghz, and a total of 16(yes, 16) HD 2900XTs in CrossFire. When all is said and done, Sony hopes to get the Fusion CPU and r800 GPU to communicate at blazing speeds, and operate like the right and left lobes of the brain. Maybe Sony is hoping to create some kind of AI in the PS4? The GPU and CPU each have their own 256MB eDRAM cache for processor intensive computing, and a shared 4GB to act as a buffer between to two to help with communicating. Sony is also asking the game stay under 100GB in size, presumably because of the quad layer Blu-Ray drive they will be reusing with the PS4.

The guys at Insomniac held a meeting to show off some renderings of what the next installment of Resistance will look like. Fortunately, we have a few snapshots of the game for your viewing pleasure.

If this is true....I would be very excited for Ps4.

Imagine, a CPU that clocks at 7ghz (Did they already broke the 3.2ghz barrier?)...unsa na kaha ang itsura sa mga games ani...

tungod sa ka nice ug grafix sa games, mura na xa ug adventure island sa famicom... XD

di sab ta ka.ingon na 5yrs ra lifespan sa consoles oie, look at the ps2, 2000 pjud na na.release.

but until now, they are still making games for it (i think)

i can say that the ps3 will last around 2015... more or less...

wa pa gani kau na.gamit ang potential sa ps3 karn...

uncharted: drake's fortune ug uncharted 2: among theives pa bya ang naka.gamit sa potential sa ps3.

thats what i heard.

and also, for blu-ray, ps3 is one of the best blu-ray players in the market bya karn...

so i guess sony wont just turn its back against the ps3...

way mo palit sa ps4 pa anang year cguro if mag release sila, mga 2018 guro na ma sikat na dyud.

kanang ma luma na dyud ps3.

daghan pang games nag developer na sige pag himo og ps3 games...

naa bay 3d vision ang Playstation3?

if wala its a good thing to adapt for PS4 and the market is very high.
stick to PS3 or play with 3dglasses ka with PS4, ana sigoro na padong. just my thoughts, i dun even have a console. my last was ps1 fat

..hmmm so gi partly disclose na diay ang specs ani ..cuz the other year Sony gave a teaser concept of what the PSfour can do once its released..according to Sony..ang video output niya regardless the type of LCD or OLED pa imu TV,maka generate na siya ug 3D WITHOUT the use of special glasses..if you have played Killzone 3..Sony gave a peek of what the PS4 can do already..kabanatay mu sa ig load sa next level sa game as you progress..naay still 3D background nga pwede nimu sya ma move via sa 6axis controller? para makita iya depth sa image..thats what sony is working on..imagine kung moving na..playing a game in atu nga quality..? BUGHA!! :P
